Description[]
The Mazda RX-7 is a rotary-engined sports car produced by Mazda over three generations starting in 1978. The first generation, internally designated the SA22C or FB (depending on series) and designed by Matasaburo Maeda, acted as a replacement for the RX-3 and complemented the Cosmo luxury coupe and the Luce sedan as the company's only rotary-powered products. The RX-7 was facelifted in 1981 and discontinued in 1985. 471,018 were produced, making this the most common of the RX-7s.
This casting is based on a 1980 Mazda RX-7 owned by Mattel lead painter Brandon Ozaki, featuring a widebody kit inspired by IMSA Grand Touring Under (GTU) cars. The name on the side also references his son (who has the same initials) and was born on the 20th.
